I picked up but there was just silence, no clue who it was. Ended up blocking the number.

Our home phone has been getting loads of calls like this. I just keep quiet and wait for them to hang up. We're registered with the TPS, so it's pretty annoying.

Some guy with an Asian accent called me saying he was from the mobile firm THREE, telling me I could get a cheaper bill. That’s a total scam since I don’t even use THREE for my phone. He mentioned a Christian name but I can’t remember what exactly. When I asked him to tell me his proper name, he just ended the call straight away.

Classic job offer scam here. They promise amazing gigs like working from home with flexible hours and £50+ per hour, often something simple like watching TikTok clips. Then they ask for loads of personal info – your CV, references, proof of ID and address, plus bank and National Insurance details for supposed payroll. They'll send you a link or software to install so you can “start work.” Sometimes, they'll even try to charge you a fee for agency introduction! Always report these scams. Also, watch out for the voice cloning trick – scammers record your voice during calls and use it to swipe your money later. They can grab your voice just by chatting for a few seconds, leaving a voicemail, returning fake calls, or using your social media clips. Stay alert!

I kept getting random missed calls from +447359266498 but I never pick up if I don’t recognise the number. So yeah, I’ve blocked it and reported it now.

If you scroll down about 9 or 10 posts, there's some info on the two scams these calls are connected to. Also, it's really important to report every scam you come across. The agencies that handle internet and phone fraud can only act if they know about these things. Scammers rely on most people in the UK not bothering to report the calls – it’s what lets them keep pulling it off.

Beware of insulation scams – just do a quick search online and you’ll find loads of alerts about them. Most of these scam calls come from AI bots, so your call is almost certainly being recorded. This opens you up to other dodgy tricks like 'voice cloning' scams or them getting you to say 'yes' to something without realising it, all on top of the initial scam. If you scroll down a few posts (around eight), there’s a good explanation. To protect yourself, don’t chat with these scammers for longer than a couple of seconds, don’t leave a voice message on your answerphone, avoid calling back strange numbers, and be careful about posting voice clips on social media. Always report scam calls by texting the details and number to 7726 and confirm if they ask you to. Don’t forget to mark the call as spam on your phone too, even if it’s a silent call. Trust me, reporting makes a difference!

I picked up the phone but stayed quiet. There was no sound or message, just complete silence afterwards.

The number was unfamiliar, so I just let it ring. Looking at it, I reckon it was probably a scam.

Sounds like a dodgy call, looks like the number's fake as well.

I missed a call earlier and when I tried ringing back a few times it just said the same message about the person not being able to answer and to leave a voicemail. Quite frustrating really!

Keeps messaging me on WhatsApp loads, really annoying spam calls.

I ignored the call, and there was no voicemail either, so I’m guessing it was just one of those random sales calls.

I blocked a caller by texting 7726. First, I sent the word ‘call’ to that number. After that, they replied asking for the phone number of the nuisance caller I wanted to block. I sent them the number I wanted blocked. Then I got a message from my phone company saying, “Thanks for your report, it has been marked as spam. We’ll try to block it soon. Appreciate you helping us fight spam.”

The number got marked as a scam by my phone company.

Last night around 9.30pm I wanted to ring booking.com to sort out a last minute flight to Istanbul for the next day. Instead, I ended up dealing with these dodgy people who tried to sneak through my booking in two separate payments without telling me, which immediately felt off. When I called them out on it, their excuses were rubbish and clearly dodgy. I told them I wasn't having it and suspected they were trying something dodgy. They got all defensive and said I was wasting their time! After hanging up, I got two emails – one was a hotel booking confirmation for some place in India on a completely different date, and within minutes, another email cancelling that booking. Very fishy behaviour, screams scam to me! And they won’t stop ringing me either!

I can vouch that this number is definitely in use, but seriously, don’t ring it. The person who picks up starts making these weird growling sounds and it was really unsettling.

If it’s some random number I don’t recognise, I just block it straight away and never pick up. Best way to avoid all the hassle, honestly.

Over the past couple of days, I got a pair of texts saying my financial review was underway and asking me to click on a link to complete the process, or another link to opt out of the texts. Problem is, I never signed up for any kind of finance review. Pretty obvious to me this is some kind of phishing scam.

Got a call from this number but they didn’t leave a voicemail, so I’m not sure whether it was a scam or something important.

Got called from a Stirling number but there was no answer when I tried to call back, and they didn’t even leave a voicemail. Checked the number and found about 38 reports in just 9 hours – total spam for sure. I’ve blocked and deleted it, and also reported the number.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent who kept messing up my name. Felt very dodgy, probably a scam, so I just blocked the number.

Loads of numbers like this have been calling me, so I’m not sure if it’s some kind of scam or not. Anyone else getting calls from similar numbers? Wondering who it actually is.

Got a text saying it’s from HMRC about me not declaring crypto earnings, had a sketchy link in there too. Definitely felt off and dodgy, so I didn’t click anything. Looks like another scam trying to catch people out. Be careful if you get one like that!

I think this number isn’t with GCI Network Solutions anymore. It seems like scammers have got hold of it now.
